ALGERIAN ASSAULT ENDS CRISIS, 19 HOSTAGES DEAD

IN AMENAS, Algeria (AP) — In a bloody finale, Algerian special forces stormed a natural gas complex in the Sahara desert on Saturday to end a standoff with Islamist extremists that left at least 19 hostages and 29 militants dead. Dozens of foreign workers remain unaccounted for, leading to fears the death toll could rise.

With few details emerging from the remote site in eastern Algeria, it was unclear whether anyone was rescued in the final operation.

The siege at Ain Amenas transfixed the world after radical Islamists linked to al-Qaida stormed the complex, which contained hundreds of plant workers from all over the world, and then held them hostage surrounded by the Algerian military and its attack helicopters for four tense days that were punctuated with gunbattles and dramatic tales of escape.

Algeria’s response to the crisis was typical of the country’s history in confronting terrorists, favoring military action over negotiation, which caused an international outcry from countries worried about their citizens. Algerian military forces twice assaulted the two areas where the hostages were being held with minimal apparent mediation – first on Thursday and then on Saturday.

In the final assault, the remaining band of militants killed seven hostages before special forces killed 11 of the attackers, the state news agency said. It wasn’t immediately possible to verify who killed the hostages. The military launched its assault to prevent a fire started by the extremists from engulfing the complex, the report said.

  1. If the hostages are dead, it is tragic. However, bear in mind that if there had been successful negotiations, then all the terrorists would have got away as part of any deal. The deal would also have included tens of millions of dollars or Euros – more money more weapons and more terrorists. In addition, it would have encouraged more Jihadis to do the same.

    Algeria has been on the battle front against Islamic Jihad. I’m afraid there is no other way but to negotiate with force.

  2. “I’m afraid there is no other way but to negotiate with force.”
    – Russian style, dare I add

  3. – The preliminary search has been performed, but we are working on more detailed search, explain Statoil to the MSM on Sunday.

    Like..bodies found, but heads still missing? We are facing pure barbary here, inlands South of the Barbary Coast, where presenting the head of a Westerner to your overlord is a victory in itself and the proof of your “faith” in their satan.

    Sorry for the victims of this terrible act of barbary which we are facing. All of us. For them, this is just another day in the long war to conquer us, and bring their “peace” upon us, in our lands.
